10. I recently got cable. I know, welcome to the 21st century huh? Anyways, I am not one for reality tv but Billy The Extreminator on A&E has me hooked.
Is it his rocking mullet? His charming redneck accent? Or his complete lack of inhibition when it comes to catching critters? I don’t know what it is but I laugh my arse off every time I watch him. This episode is him catching squirrels. I almost peed from laughing.
9. Nalini Singh (fangirl SQUEEEEEEEEEEEE) has leaked some info on her blog about the next Psi/Changling book. (fangirl SQUEEEEEEEEEE). Book #11, still untitled as of now, will be about Adria and Riaz. Smexy Councillor Kalab will feature heavily as will the Arrows. Hawke and Sienna will get lots of playtime in here as Ms. Singh hints that their relationship is evolving to an important next step. Read more about it here.
8. I spied with my little eye at the store my all time FAV.OR.ITE. cookies EVAH growing up.
Oatmeal Scotchies. By Nestle Tollhouse.
I may have purchased a package or 5. Don’t judge. Seriously though, if you see them in your local store. BUY THEM! They are oatmeal-gasmic. Yea, they are 160 calories each but who cares? They are sooo good… I’d slap every one of you for one. :P
7. Got my memory form mattress Wednesday. Hallelujah and pass the bacon. 4 inches of soft fluffy goodness just waiting to cradle my arse.
Called a Serta Rejuvenator 4 inch Memory Form Mattress Topper, I got it on sale for $106 at Overstock. Free shipping too. Holla! Slept on it like a dream. First time in ages I woke up without a headache or back ache. AND….I didn’t roll over in to T’s space. Since he’s a tad heavier then me, gravity works it’s ugly magic and I end up being practically sucked up under him every night.
Not this time. I stayed on my own side of bed. Life is good in the Benson household.
6. Congrats to Jaci Burton and her drool worthy book-Changing The Game.
Ms. Burton made #126 THIS WEEK on the USA Today top 150 list.
5. Kelly Keaton aka Kelly Gay has unveiled the cover of the second book in her fantastical YA series Gods & Monsters. I reviewed the first in this series-Darkness Becomes Her and was blown away! Totally love the snake in the hair and that we only see her form the back.
A power she can’t deny. A destiny she’s determined to fight.
When Ari first arrived in the dilapidated city of New 2, all she wanted was to figure out who she was. But what she discovered was beyond her worst nightmare. Ari can already sense the evil growing inside her—a power the goddess Athena will stop at nothing to possess.
Desperate to hold on to her humanity and protect her loved ones, Ari must fight back. But Athena’s playing mind games, not just with Ari but with those she cares about most. And Athena has a very special plan for the brooding and sexy Sebastian.
Ari is determined to defeat Athena, but time is running out. With no other options, Ari must unleash the very thing she’s afraid of: herself.
Beautiful Evil is set to release February 2012 by Simon Pulse.
4. I’m so sad right now I can think of nothing. *sniffle*
The Samsung Instinct.
OMG. World domination would be easier then trying to teach this man to use this phone. All day yesterday is was…
How do I answer this phone?
Why does it keep locking?
Where is the talk, dial, contacts, history, screensaver?
How do I take a picture?
How do I save a picture?
Why are the ring tones stupid?
Do I have an alarm?
Will it work if I turn off phone?
How do I know it it’s gonna work?
Mind you, he has yet to read the user guide. *sigh*
2. Random House has finally joined Netgalley. Can you say Hell to the YEA?!?!?! That makes all of the big six publishers official members of netgalley. Be still my heart. *happy sigh*
1. I must have one of these.
With the power of snowflake science; OoooO snowflake science, the cubes in the slushy magic, combined with one or more of your favorite beverages, create an awesome slushy treat after you shake it for a bit.
I must have one. So must Mandi. Nat from wickedlilpixie.com calls it my ghetto blender. She’s just jelios.
I want a pretty smartphone :)
T watched TV on it today and was in total awe. LMAO
I want the slushy magic machine!! Great job doing the top ten, tori!
Thank you. You want a ghetto blender too? No problemo.
I’ve never had a Oatmeal Scotchies but the name alone makes me want to buy some :-D
They are so good. I loves them.
GREAT JOB Tori!!!!!!!!!!
I WANT THOSE COOKIES RIGHT NOW.
THANK YOU!! lol Hope your having fun in Philly. I’ve been keeping entertained Nat for you. ;)
My hubs makes to. die. for. oatmeal scotchies!!
Hmm, I’m not sure I believe you. I think he needs to make me some so I can verify. ;)
Super fun top ten Tori. You are not alone…I mean I am relaxing on the lake but I did check on you! And that slushy thing, let me know if it works. My daughter wanted one for her bday, I told her it was a waste of money. Was I wrong?
The lake. Lucky dawg. I will get one and let you know.
:D Great Top Ten Tori! OMG now I want cookies… and Billy is like a southern-spike-wearin’ version of my little brother which is why I like him. Not a reality TV fan but if Billy’s on when I flip channels we always end up watching it. lol
Billy is awesome. i’m addicted to his show now.
My daughter has the same phone. Tell him to call her. If he can figure out how.
Yay for the book reminder. (Because I’m shallow and the cover man makes me drool.) I went and bought it. Between this, Butterfly Tattoo, my freebies and a couple .99 books, I’m set for quite awhile. Yay!
Billy the Exterminator is scarily good at his job. I love when he attacks wasps. Because I like killing creepy crawlies.
I have an EVO Shift. T and I can commiserate. I love the thing, but it’s like putting a car together without an tools. But it’s my ereader so I don’t complain. (You may wanna check the software updates if it’s on Gingerbread. My time went wonky yesterday and it just needed updating.)
Ghetto. lol
That is good news on the Nalini Singh front. Looking forward to the book already. My favourite cookies are chocolate chip cookies, mmm can eat a whole bag of them in half an hour if not careful. And that mattress, it looks devine! I’ll have to look into buying it here in Holland.
Your hubby’s questions are so recognizable *eek* What does that say about me? LOL I’m also squeeing right along side you about the Nalini Singh news. Each time a Psy/Changeling novel is released i think it can’t hold this level of awesomesauce, and each time NS proves me different. *LOVE*
I LOVED this. You need to participate in the Top 10 more often, Tori. :)
Laugh out loud Top Ten Tori! You & Mandi need to do a review on the Magic Slushy thingy after you get it…it looks AWESOME!!!
ZOMG – we need to get the Magic Slushy and review it together!!! LOL! That would be fun. My kids have been begging for it.
I need an oatmeal scotchie as I drink my tea. Hook me up Tori!
Great top ten Tori :)
